Ste Guy, self-titled EP

review by dave heaton

I almost let this CD slip right by me. A CDR with an indistinct, photo-copied cover, case broken in the mail; nothing to see here. That would have been a major mistake. The first song alone is a gem. “In San Francisco”, it’s called, and it’s basically a fuzzy pop song about having a crush on someone and imagining them walking hand-in-hand together in San Francisco. A great melody, loud fuzzy electric guitars: basic but irresistible. Along with that is another tuneful love song, a goodbye song with tinges of the Jesus and Mary Chain, and a song that essentially consists of Ste Guy (aka Stephen Guy) whistling and playing guitar. Again: basic but irresistible. It’s the simple things in life, I suppose.
